Robin Clevett Returns as Brand Ambassador for PWE 2026

Organisers of Professional Woodworking Expo (PWE) have announced that Robin Clevett will serve as the official Brand Ambassador for the 2026 event, held at NEC Birmingham from 17–19 May.

Robin’s return builds on his hands-on involvement and impact at the Materials & Finishes Show 2024, as he continues to inspire and elevate standards in the woodworking community.

Robin will once again bring his deep expertise and authentic voice to this reimagined platform. Robin, whose social media reach and commitment to craftsmanship have made him a household name in the woodworking community, will advise organisers, champion key industry brands, and energise the show’s renowned live demonstration zone and seminar programme.

With over 35 years’ experience across all sectors of carpentry and joinery, as well as a thriving presence on YouTube and FIX Radio’s The Carpentry Show, Robin is committed to advancing both practical skills and professional standards.

Robin’s involvement will drive awareness, engagement, and attendance, reinforcing Professional Woodworking Expo 2026 as the UK’s only event 100% dedicated to woodworking and joinery professionals, with over 6,000 attendees anticipated.

David Todd, Event Director, commented: “Robin’s practical knowledge and genuine passion for the craft make him an ideal ambassador to help us grow and innovate. Building on the energy he brought to our last event, we’re excited to see new collaborations and hands-on experiences come to life in 2026.”

The Professional Woodworking Expo 2026 will feature expanded live demonstration areas, tailored seminars, and unrivalled opportunities to connect with decision-makers and shape the future of the sector.

Speaking about his renewed role, Robin said: “I’m passionate about supporting emerging talent and encouraging grassroots involvement in our industry.

“This year, I’ll be bringing third-year construction and joinery students to help with a live demonstration of a roof build at the show. Practical experience is vital, and there’s no better place to learn, share skills, and network than at the Professional Woodworking Expo. I look forward to seeing new and familiar faces, and to helping shape the future of woodworking in the UK.”

David added: “Robin’s knowledge and enthusiasm for the craft are unmatched. We’re excited to build on the momentum of his previous ambassador roles and to see the next generation contribute at the show.”

For companies interested in exhibiting or joining the Live Demo Zone at Professional Woodworking Expo 2026, opportunities are still available. To find out more, please visit the Professional Woodworking Expo website or contact the event team.
